Truck mechanics have a right to seek award money for their asbestos-related cancer.

Recently a woman wrote to us about her husband, a truck mechanic who had been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma cancer related to asbestos exposure.

Her husband worked as a truck mechanic for almost 30 years.

During that time, she said, he mounted and dismounted tires and blew dust from asbestos brake linings.

He was just diagnosed with stage IIIB/IV adenocarcinoma.

She contacted our asbestos lawyers with the hope that she could seek asbestos compensation for her husband's injuries by filing a legal claim against the companies responsible for his asbestos-related illness.

Truck mechanics are at risk for asbestos exposure, for example, during brake repair work.

Many truck mechanics and employees in the automotive repair shops, as well as do-it-yourselfers, are unaware that asbestos may be present in both old and replacement brakes and clutches.

Thousands of truck mechanics have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, our asbestos lawyers may be able to help you receive compensation for your health problems.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country, winning many millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements along the way.
